On this page
The FULafia cancer research scholarship is advertised as master’s and PhD support in cancer biochemistry at the Federal University of Lafia, Nigeria, but its application link leads to the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada. Here is what official pages confirm, and how to check before you share documents or money.
Status: Cannot verify. No official FULafia or UBC page found confirms this award, so there is no confirmed deadline, benefit or list of eligible nationalities. If you are in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya or India, do not assume you qualify. (checked November 4, 2026).
What is not confirmed
- The official pages checked show no FULafia scholarship or research award in cancer biochemistry.
- The FULafia Department of Biochemistry page does not mention cancer research, scholarships, UBC or Canada.
- The UBC PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology page and the UBC biochemistry page for prospective students do not mention Lafia, Nigeria or a partner scholarship.
- The amount, the duration, the number of places and the supervisor are not stated on any official page checked.
This does not prove the offer is false, but you should not rely on it yet.
